One Punch to Kill

Across the entire underworld, martial gods numbered in the tens of thousands.

None were more revered than the owners of the Ghost Tomb Stone Coffins.

Among these owners, there were three tiers.

And he, Aiden, belonged to the lowest tier, though he was still stronger than those martial gods who didn’t possess a Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin.

He had joined forces with twelve other martial gods to seize a single Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin.

They took turns resting inside it.

It just so happened that while he was resting, someone lifted the lid off his coffin.

The second-tier Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin owners

were those who weren’t powerful enough to be invincible and frequently faced challengers.

The owners of this type of Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin changed hands often.

As for the highest-tier martial gods,

they were Su Yuanshan, the Ancient Clan brothers, and the ancient ones who had existed in the underworld for endless ages.

They were the strongest beings in the underworld.

They only ever robbed others.

They had never been robbed themselves.

And Su Yuanshan was the most dazzling figure of the past ten thousand years.

No one knew when he had first entered the underworld.

But the moment he rose to prominence,

he slew thousands of martial saints in a row.

He killed until no one dared to challenge him.

His martial arts talent had already transcended the mortal realm, and it was said he had touched the realm of the Heavenly Dao.

So terrifying!

Even the Ancient Clan brothers, when fighting together, could only manage a draw against Su Yuanshan and his wife.

The great ancient powers also had to steer clear of his might.

...

Just as Aiden was pondering this,

a fierce battle suddenly erupted not far from him.

He could tell at a glance that it was a battle between martial saints.

Normally, such a minor skirmish

wouldn’t have attracted his attention at all.

But the combatants were drawing closer and closer to him.

One of the martial saints, an old man, was sent flying with a palm strike and landed right before Aiden.

He landed not far from Aiden.

Aiden remembered the old man.

He was the Western Continent Executive Officer of the Martial Arts Guild.

His name seemed to be Tang Geng.

At that moment, Tang Geng was in a miserable state.

Half of his body was frozen in ice.

One of his legs had shattered into icy fragments.

Tang Geng coughed up several mouthfuls of blood,

then picked up a walkie-talkie from the ground and shouted loudly:

“The leader of the Devour Heaven Club has appeared! They’re at Su Yuanshan’s Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin!”

At that moment,

everyone in the battle froze.

None of them had expected

that the leader of the Devour Heaven Club would show up in person.

After all, their side had a martial god among them.

By now, the chaos caused by the Devour Heaven Club on the ground

had mostly been brought under control.

Chen Feng overheard the latest report from a walkie-talkie held by someone nearby.

“Su Yan!”

His heart churned with a mix of emotions.

He hesitated briefly.

But the moment he thought about Su Yan facing the martial god Aiden,

he immediately rushed toward Aiden’s location.

In the Celestial Capital,

Feng Tengyun also received the intelligence about Su Yan’s appearance.

His heart jolted with alarm.

He could clearly sense that something was wrong.

Logically speaking,

if Aiden was guarding Su Yuanshan’s Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin,

even if Su Yan came in person, she couldn’t possibly open that coffin.

But the next moment,

he saw another piece of news.

Western Continent Executive Officer, the elderly Tang Geng, had been crippled on the spot by Su Yan.

Feng Tengyun muttered to himself that something was off.

Tang Geng!

He was one of his old subordinates.

And the most outstanding one among his men.

It was Tang Geng who had helped him uncover the news that Su Yan had fled to the Western Continent.

But now, at such a strange time,

Su Yan appearing before a martial god and crippling Tang Geng

seemed deliberate.

He immediately shouted to his men outside the prison:

“Tang Geng is a traitor!”

Everyone outside the prison was stunned.

They were all shocked by Feng Tengyun’s words.

After recovering from their surprise, several elders exclaimed in disbelief:

“How could Old Tang be a traitor?”

“Feng, you must be mistaken.”

“Old Tang helped us capture many members of the Devour Heaven Club.”

“Old Tang has been with you for over thirty years!”

...

Yes! Over thirty years!

That was exactly why Feng Tengyun had always trusted Tang Geng.

But in that moment, he judged with certainty that Tang Geng was a traitor.

“Send a message immediately!”

“Though it may already be too late.”

Even though the others didn’t believe Tang Geng was a traitor,

everyone knew that Feng Tengyun was far more trustworthy than Tang Geng.

They were about to send the message

when a new piece of intelligence came in.

When they saw its contents,

everyone was stunned!

...

A few minutes earlier.

Aiden looked at Tang Geng lying before him.

He was about to lend a hand

when he saw a familiar woman appear under the blood-red moonlight.

“How did you end up here?”

Aiden stared at Su Yan in shock.

He still remembered.

That woman who had been willing to listen to his rambling at the Martial Arts Guild.

That day had been the most satisfying conversation he’d had since his resurrection.

“Aiden, it seems you still remember me.”

Aiden smiled kindly and said:

“Of course.”

But the next moment,

he immediately realized something was wrong.

“No, no! How could you be here?”

“Are you the leader of that evil organization he mentioned?”

Just then,

Tang Geng struggled to speak:

“She’s not just the leader of the Devour Heaven Club!”

“She’s also Su Yuanshan’s daughter!”

Su Yuanshan’s daughter?

Aiden was shocked!

It felt as shocking as seeing Su Yuanshan himself.

He had never imagined

that he would meet Su Yuanshan’s daughter in the real world.

Su Yan smiled and said:

“And I have to thank you, Aiden, for telling me which coffin belongs to my family.”

Aiden suddenly understood!

He pointed at Su Yan angrily and said:

“So you were never a staff member of the Martial Arts Guild!”

“So that day, you were just pumping me for information!”

Aiden was furious!

Throughout history,

the thing he hated most was being deceived by others.

When he was a king,

if he discovered any minister daring to lie to him,

he would have them executed on the spot as a warning to others.

What infuriated him most was

that now he finally realized

the one who had leaked the information about Su Yuanshan’s Ghost Tomb Stone Coffin’s hexagram signs

was none other than himself, all along.

The anger of being toyed with

filled him with a sense of humiliation.

Aiden said coldly:

“Don’t think that just because I’m a gentleman, I won’t kill a woman.”

A surge of pure golden battle energy erupted.

Aiden stepped forward!

The ground cracked!

Dirt and rocks flew everywhere!

He threw a straight punch directly at Su Yan.

Behind Su Yan, the shadow of a massive fish leaped up,

hurling itself toward Aiden’s fist.

A bolt of purple lightning streaked across the sky.

Chen Feng arrived just in time.

He saw this scene unfold before him.

He didn’t know where Su Yan got her confidence,

but he knew

that Su Yan absolutely could not block that punch.

If that punch landed,

his daughter would lose her mother,

and he would lose a disciple.

Chen Feng instinctively shouted:

“Wait!”

But Aiden completely ignored the frantic cry.

In that moment of crisis,

Chen Feng had no time to think.

The next moment, a flash of purple electric light

appeared in front of Su Yan.

Indestructible Golden Body!

First, the massive fish martial shadow shattered.

Then the Indestructible Golden Body exploded with a bang.

Chen Feng only felt a lightness in his body,

a joyful relief, as if all pressure had vanished.

But he didn’t notice

that a hole the size of a soccer ball had appeared in his chest.

His legs gave way,

and his body collapsed backward.
